Help! wont turn on.

So today in the morning I dropped my TP, it wasnt that long of a fall, only about two feet. However, the impact caused the battery to come out. After putting back the battery, my TP wont turn on anymore

I mean, I know I dropped it but a 2-3 feet dropp couldnt have killed my phone, could it?? I mean I dropped my mogul about 3 or 4 times and it is still good and I have dropped other phones too and none of those have died after only one drop.

If the build quality of the TP really that bad?

thats a pretty big fall. try pulling the battery again. it does nothing at all? change your phone info. also.

Check to make sure all three of the battery contacts on the phone are still straight/there.

Every phone is different. I have heard of numerous people dropping the TP without any major problems but that doesn't mean there isn't a weak spot or you might have dropped it just right (wrong?).

I see the three battery contacts there, but i dont know what position they should be in.
If I have it plugged in to the charger without the battery should it still turn on?

It won't work when the battery is out and you're charging.

Try letting your phone sit disconnected for a few minutes.

If the are all poking out in the same direction and look uniform, then they are fine.

Ok, it seems that they were all bent downwards, so I straightened them out with twisers to poke out. Put the battery back in and it booted up

Thanks for your help guys
